Bit of a bizarre and out of the ordinary music choice to accompany the trailer, but that's what Andor basically is right? An out of the ordinary, actually decent SW show.
So in a way it is fitting

No one watched Andor, its like their lowest viewed Star Wars show. So they gotta capitalize on SOMETHING to try to generate interest.
I wonder why they bothered with 3 ep arcs, why not just a solid movie a week? Must be some way to try to game viewership "numbers" or they just know folks only have a 45 minute attention span?
Might have to rewatch S1 for this. Just that trailer alone took so many shits on the sloppy shitty visuals of Obi-Wan, Book of Fett, Ahsoka, and Acolyte.
Edit: Just caught that last bit in your post. Goddamn heathens everywhere!!!! At least tell me you liked LEXX and Andromeda

Ohhh yeah lets go! Loved Andor S1 and Rogue One, my favorite of Disney's output so far.
Damn I hope its as good as the first season.
Edit - Yeah that music choice was goofy. But I think the footage looked badass. Put it on mute and play some John Williams behind it.

One of the few Disney Star Wars I'm looking forward to
I hope Tony Gilroy comes back to doing Star Wars again after finishing Andor Season 2

Who the fuck picked that music track? Reminded me of this:
Season 1 was great, but this trailer is terrible.

Seriously...if I didn't know any better (I actually don't), I would think someone is out to sabotage Andor Season 2 with that goofball music choice. Absurd and out of place.

Gonna skip the trailer and just watch the show. I am surprised it's here already, I would've expected at least another year in the oven, I am hoping they didn't rush this!
I've been over Star Wars since Ewoks, but Andor S1 was the coolest scifi thing I've seen in I dunno how long. Other than the fear noted above, this is one show I can say I am not cautiously optimistic about, I genuinely expect it to be good, at the very least. Bring it!

I’m a little nervous about this, the vibe seems a little off to me. What the fuck is that Bollywood dance scene?

Andor was the Star Wars show i enjoyed the most out of the new ones, written and acted well, unlike most of the others, i hope it has the same level of quality, looking forward to seeing it.

It was already delayed a year due to the strikes. All 24 scripts were written at once, as one long show. They just had to film S2 and that was delayed due to the strikes.
Season 1 was in 2022. This is 2 1/2 years later.

Andor is literally the only SW thing I've enjoyed since the sell.
I think I enjoy it because it's the least SW thing.

Why do all disney movies/shows have this bland look to them? Shit boring sets, muted colors, overly clean cheap image. They all look exactly the same
the power of one! the power of many!
Thats true for a lot of stuff these days. I think it must be digital cameras in general or tied to CG/Volume stuff. Certainly, there is no film grain anymore and guys like Cameron are aggressively stripping it from their older works to make it look "more modern", but the muted colors is a choice, I think, to make stuff seem more serious? Add in the dim HDR lighting so en vouge and I can't see shit on my massive TV at home unless I'm in a pitch black room.

Andor was filmed entirely on location and with real sets. No Volume at all. That’s why it was so expensive.
Sure, but unless they built a real TIE Fighter to then shoot it up with real bullets, that stuff is likely CG and to make it mesh well then maybe the muted color palette helps? It's clearly a costume choice plus color grading and digital film. Just the "Filmed in Technicolor" aesthetic of the era, I suppose. Not a knock against Andor specifically, I think the aesthetic fits with the more serious tone of the show, but you see it all over now even where it makes no sense, so I"m curious if there is a technical reason for it or it's just a fad.

There is no technical reason. It's usually the the DP who decides how something is going to look. And I can tell you most DP's do not like HDR, and a lot of colourists don't like HDR.
Also, Star Wars in particular - there is at least some desire to match the original films in terms of tone. Everyone went crazy about how the Mandalorian topped out at about 200/300 nits thinking it was some sort of mistake. It wasn't - it was creative choice.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
First season was amazing, felt like a serious and adult take on Star Wars. Specially enjoyed the part about the dam, felt like watching a WWII movie with a Star Wars skin, loved it.
Hope this 2nd season delivers, can't wait and will probably rewatch S1 before this comes out.

Yeah it's my favorite Star Wars media by far. It's a pretty cool well developed sci-fi world that ironically seems to work best for me when you ignore the Jedi / Sith stuff. (not that I dislike Jedi material, but so much of it is.. bad)
Same.

Count me the fuck in, the first season was insanely good TV and this looks to be the same quality, amazing what you can do when you keep certain people away

It sounds like they had two songs on the timeline while editing and forgot to mute one of them.

While I appreciate Lucasfilm introducing me to a "new" (to me) Steve Earle song, the choice seems to be a little too try-hard to me. Very Marvel, which -- let's be honest -- Marvel isn't really what Marvel used to be, nowadays.
Will watch. I hope the editing is tighter than Season 1.

Funny since Andor is one of the most important lore explanations, specifically to the Original Trilogy. The series is about the origins of the Rebel Alliance.
Prior to the Alliance there was a Rebellion, but it was made up of unconnected guerilla fighters like Enfys Nest and Saw Gerrera's Partisans. Andor shows it was Luthan Rael who was building the Alliance network and bringing these groups together. He was working behind the scenes to get money and people, and Cassian Andor gets caught up in all of this and ends up being one of the first major members of the Rebel Alliance.
